The stock ipod earphones are horrible. Just atrocious.
I am one of those losers you see on the subway with the giant Bose earmuff headphones. However, I left them at work last night because we had our Xmas party, and I didn't feel like lugging them around all night.
So I went home musicless last night (which was bad enough), but this morning, I had to wear my regular iPod earbuds.
I hate them. I can't imagine I used them for so long. I couldn't even hear the music much of the time unless I cranked up the volume all the way, upon which time the music was all distorted and made my ears bleed.
The Bose headsets rule, I don't care how stupid they look. Because they do a bang-up job of blocking out all the ambient noise on the subway, I can listen to the music at a lower volume, which doesn't kill my ears. Plus, as an added bonus, they act as earmuffs when it's cold and windy.
